WRITING CHALLENGE | SELF-AWARENESS
Build on the Lucky Number Challenge
What do the numbers one through seven say about your life?
I don’t know if I’ve got a severe case of FOMO, egocentrism, or plain down-to-earth playfulness, but with writers from near and far creating challenges, I decided it was time to create one of my own. That is thanks to the inspiration from an article by Susie Winfield.
Susie’s article mentions how integral the number seven is in her life. I loved how she noticed the digit showing up through dates and experiences. So, this got me thinking. Let’s learn more about ourselves and each other.
Here’s the challenge.
Name one through seven things that highlight your life. One thing for #1, two things for #2. I’m sure by now you’ve got the idea.
You can use the listed numbers like Susie or put a spin on them and label the amounts and how they relate to your life.
So let’s get started. It’s time for me to share more about myself. Here are things I’m sure you don’t know.
#1
There’s only one of me, so this number highlights my uniqueness.
#2
This is how many times I’ve travelled to the Grand Cayman Islands.
Two is how many times I’ve been romantically in love.
#3
The number of children (3) and grandchildren (3) I have.
Three are how many poached eggs I eat for breakfast in one sitting.
It is the number of cups of coffee I drink daily.
